Hun hadde sett for seg at det passer til noe "vikingsk", og da må jeg jo enten veve, bregde eller nålbinde av det. Strikking og hekling var ikke kjent i Norden på den tiden. Spekulerer litt på hva jeg skal finne på - nålbundne votter til meg selv? Eller kanskje en spisslue med øreklaffer? Skal jeg prøve å plantefarge det først?? Gode forslag mottas med takk.I took part in this falls big mitten-knitting competition. That is - I cheeted, and used the technique nalbinding as well. Four prizes were handed out, and I was lucky and got one of them :) I got a ball of lovely sock yarn donated by Elisabeth, and a hank of white, Finnish wool from Fuglemamma's own stash. The yarn is called "villalanka" wich is Finnish for wool yarn. You see - I know all the most important words in the Finnish language :)

She figured I could make something for our viking garb from this, and that means that it must be weaving, sprang or nålbinding, since knitting and crochet were not known in Scandinavia at that time. I'm wondering what to make - nalbinding mittens for myself, or a pixie cap with earflaps? May be I should dye it with some plants first?? Any suggestions?
